== Introduction ==

−

== M4 and previous ==

+

This release's main goal was plug-in stability improvement and we've fixed more than 60 different issues. On the other hand we've implemented a set of features that should benefit those who uses SVN in their everyday work and those who uses Subversive plug-in in their products.

=== Connectors Discovery feature ===

== Latest SVN client libraries included ==

−

Bug [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=280889 280889]. Subversive's Connector Discovery feature makes the process of finding and installing SVN Connectors much faster and easier than it was in versions before 0.7.8.I20090808-1900, when the installation process went like this:

+

Bugs [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=406738 406738] and [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=406737 406737]. There were many issues fixed recently in the SVN support libraries and so, it's reasonable to update Subversive SVN Connectors with the most recent ones.

−

*Install Subversive from 2 different update sites: one for SVN Team Provider and another for SVN Connectors

+

== Win64 platform support ==

−

*There were many combinations for installing Subversive and SVN Connectors, and some of these combinations were not compatible

+

−

The Connector Discovery feature greatly simplifies the things. Now you can install only Subversive SVN Team Provider. The next time Eclipse starts, on the first call to any Subversive functionality the Connector Discovery feature will detect that there are no connectors installed and will launch a dialog which displays the SVN Connectors you need and enables download and installation:

+

Bug [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=376317 376317]. While installing JavaHL 64-binaries is easy enough task on unix-platform, that is not so for Win64 platform. Now there is a way to install them from the connectors update site or use those of the another distribution (SlikSVN, for example).

== Plug-in integration API improvements ==

−

=== List all locked files in a project ===

+

Bugs [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=306806 306806], [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=400575 400575] and [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=389933 389933]. There were important issues that needed our attention in order to simplify integrating our plug-in into other tools. That's why we've made improvements in the plug-in's integration API. Now there is a an extension point for declaring custom properties, post-commit hook's messages processing API, and the way to flexibly override SVN Core plug-in's configuration options provided by SVN UI or any other plug-in.

Bugs [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=296239 296239] and [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=370254 370254]. There are some changes to clear misunderstandings on how the resource selection button works in Add/Commit/Replace dialogs, also there is an improvement with the default start and stop revisions of the SVN Annotate function.

As authorization database is superseded by the Equinox secure storage, store secure data in Secure Storage. It was deleted obsolete Password Management page in SVN preferences, instead of it you can manage the list of passwords that have been saved via Secure Storage preference page. On first running of Subversive with Secure Storage support, secure data is automatically migrated from Authorization database, so you don't need to reenter it manually.

Bug [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=401612 401612]. Also now Subversive strictly follows guidelines on which resource type the property could be set: a file, a folder, both or a revision.

−

+

−

=== Add dialog for creating external resource ===

+

−

Bug [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=288139 288139]. This dialog provides an ability to set external definition information to be added to a svn:externals property of the selected resource. It adds ability to make relative urls.

Introduction

This release's main goal was plug-in stability improvement and we've fixed more than 60 different issues. On the other hand we've implemented a set of features that should benefit those who uses SVN in their everyday work and those who uses Subversive plug-in in their products.

Latest SVN client libraries included

Bugs 406738 and 406737. There were many issues fixed recently in the SVN support libraries and so, it's reasonable to update Subversive SVN Connectors with the most recent ones.

Win64 platform support

Bug 376317. While installing JavaHL 64-binaries is easy enough task on unix-platform, that is not so for Win64 platform. Now there is a way to install them from the connectors update site or use those of the another distribution (SlikSVN, for example).

Plug-in integration API improvements

Bugs 306806, 400575 and 389933. There were important issues that needed our attention in order to simplify integrating our plug-in into other tools. That's why we've made improvements in the plug-in's integration API. Now there is a an extension point for declaring custom properties, post-commit hook's messages processing API, and the way to flexibly override SVN Core plug-in's configuration options provided by SVN UI or any other plug-in.

Bugs 296239 and 370254. There are some changes to clear misunderstandings on how the resource selection button works in Add/Commit/Replace dialogs, also there is an improvement with the default start and stop revisions of the SVN Annotate function.
